Nov. 29 vs. Los Angeles Clippers

After losing two in a row on the road, the Kings came home to play the Los Angeles Clippers without Chris Paul, who was out with a hamstring injury. Six days earlier in LA, the Kings lost to the Clippers by one point after a near comeback in the fourth quarter. So the Kings had to be feeling well when the Clippers came into town without Paul, however, just like the game in LA and Kings fell short once again this time in over time. Cousins had one of his normal games this year with 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Williams made his Kings debut with 12 points, six rebounds, and four assists, a good start for him with his new team. This game was the Kings to win, they shot better from the field than the Clippers and bet them in points in the paint and assists. Also the Kings had more personal fouls, almost double the number 33-16, so the Clippers shot 27 more free throws making 16 more than the Kings. This was a disappointing loss for the Kings.
